The Web Browsers FAQ provides a
list of all web browsers and java implementations. You can use your PC
which is dialed to the internet and your H/PC, P/PC or Pocket PC
connected via the serial port to access the internet if you have a
proxy. I have a Proxy FAQ
that describes how to do this.

AvantGo is designed to allow users
to take web pages with them. You can select your own web pages or
subscribe to existing channels. It competes with the Microsoft
Mobile Channels. AvantGo requires simultaneous ActiveSync and web
connections. Windows 95 users must install the DUN 1.2b upgrade
from the Windows CE Services CD. Windows 98 users must install a
second dialup adapter in the Control Panel - Network. Also, you
can move your AvantGo channels to be
stored on CompactFlash.

The Pocket PC reports to websites
that it is Monzilla 3.02. Since version 3.02 has been discontinued
on the desktop, some websites including secure websites will not allow
you access. There is a workaround to make Pocket Internet Explorer
report that it is Internet Explorer 5.5 from Windows NT. This is
done using RegKing. It
does not add any of the features of Internet Explorer 5.5 so there may
be items that do not display correctly. This has been reported to
work for both Bank of America and Wells Fargo websites for online
banking.

Undocumented ClearType
Meta Tag for the Pocket PC

There is an undocumented meta tag
to enable ClearType on specific web pages. The meta tag is:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CLEARTYPE">

You can use the meta tag on any
web page and it will not interfere with the ability for other web
browsers which do not support ClearType from displaying the content.
You will notice that the page rendering speed is significantly slower
die to the overhead for using ClearType. .I recommend that you limit
it's use to pages that you anticipate your readers spending time
reading the content. For more information on what ClearType is, my
Comdex 98
coverage includes pictures, a description and links.

Turning on ClearType for all
Web Pages

Users can also turn on ClearType
for all web pages by using RegKing to
enter the appropriate registry entries. If you choose to do this
the web page rendering will be slower.

Debugging Web Pages on the
Pocket PC

There is a registry entry you can
add to the Pocket PC in order to see html or script errors. You
can use RegKingto turn on or off the appropriate registry setting.

Macromedia Flash

Macromedia now offers a version of
Flash for the Pocket PC. It is an ActiveX control for Pocket
Internet Explorer and does not play stand alone Flash files. Also,
you can only display Flash files that have Javascript as the scripting
language to launch the control. Macromedia has also created an
authoring kit to optimize content for the Pocket PC. I was
surprised to see that there is a Flash development tool for the Pocket
PC called
Pocket Animator and it's free! Now you can design cool content
anywhere! Also, Conduits offers a Flash player called
Pocket Spark which plays
Flash 3.0 files. Macromedia offers a showcase of Flash files for
the Pocket PC at
flashenabled.com/mobile/. Also there is another sample demo
from EDS
called Running with the Squirrels. A great site for Pocket
PC Flash developers is
PocketPCFlash.net.
It has information on how to create cool flash apps for the Pocket PC.
Also, beware that the Macromedia flash player deletes the flash files
after playing. If you want to keep them on your device, you need
to change the attributes to read only!

Insignia Solutions is now offering
a Java Virtual Machine called Jeode and and Embedded Virtual Machine for
Windows CE. These virtual machines are independently developed
Java VMs licensed from Sun Microsystems.

WebGo is a free PC based
application that clips articles from the web so only take and read what
you need and avoid all the ads etc. The web files are stored in
your synchronized files folder for later transfer to your H/PC or P/PC.

Right now Netscape does not
provide a version of Navigator for Windows CE. There is some work on
porting
Monzilla to Windows CE going on if you are interested in assisting
or encouraging. Please register your interest in a
Windows CE version of Navigator below:

I have put some PHP web pages together which uses a "WWW-Authenticate:" header to prompt for a user ID and password. On the desktop version of IE, when I terminate the instance of IE the value of $PHP_AUTH_USER is unset. When I do this on Pocket IE the value appears to be retained and I never get prompted for a user ID or password again. Does anyone have any ideas how I might solve this?

Hello, all.
I am trying to get an Intermec 700 mobile computer to work with a web site that requires Jscript (JavaScript). It's fine under the Intermec implementation of Pocket PC 2000 but under their Pocket PC 2002 (shipped with all new units and all the colour screen variants) support for JavaScript is broken. Intermec/Microsoft say this is a known issue that they won't fix.
Anyone suggest a suitable alternative browser or a way to address the original issue with IE under Pocket PC 2002?
All ideas gratefully received. Thanks for your time.

Yes, I would be very interested to see something done in this area especially when so many sites get closed off to Dreamcast browser users that haven't any voice when it comes to upgrades. Verizon has become nothing more than a dial up number as they no longer support our ability to send e-maildue to recent upgrades that didn't encompass anyone with Web Tv orWindows CE (their so called "tech support" cannot identify which protocol the DC
runs on ) So like myself, there are many who are left hanging because there are no upgrades available for the deck and many service providers have
made themselves very user unfriendly to older systems like these. So I would have to close saying yes to any projects encumbered to keep us online and up- to spec would be very noteworthy.

Hi!
I am interested in a CE version of Navigator because I am using RegKing to turn on script error reporting in my Pocket PC so I can run Robert Critchlow, Jr.'s Javascript Clifford Algebra Calculator from elf.org.
I have all the files locally but they don't run under PIE from his site or locally. It's a good app for, say, field biologists and surveyors, but every theoretical physicist I know would love one in his pocket.
It works with what Robert calls bumpy, pointy, flat, blocky, and round numbers, or something like that. Multivectors.
Each Clifford Algebra number has nine aspects: real, x, y, z, xy, xz, yz, and xyz. I guess that's eight. Hm.
The x, y, and z are basis vectors. The xy, xz, and yz are basis bivectors: each is an oriented unit area. The xyz is the basis trivector: an oriented unit cube. So you can apples to oranges with this thing, but there are rules for that, and it makes the answers come out meaning something.
I'd really like to get this running on my 70 MHz Aero Pocket PC by Valentine's Day. We're flying to Hawaii and I want to show it to the navigator on the plane. Her jaw will drop, I assure you. With a sextant and this calculator, the Appolo 13 astronauts would not have had to frantically transfer numbers from the CM guidance system to that on the LEM.
If you're ever lost in space, this is the tool to have.

It is also possible (with some tweaks) to run SUN's Java-based HotJava browser on Windows CE:
http://prt.fernuni-hagen.de/~bischoff/wince/Andreas_WINCE_Jornada_stuff.html#hotjava
It is a little bit slow (on my Jornada 680), but it has some support for simple Java-applets (as far they are only consist out of one class-file, JAR-archives doesn't work )
Since, HotJava is java-based, it depends on personalJava, and unfortunately it seems the personalJava-download is not available anymore from SUN.
If you already have personalJava Hotjava may be an option, especially on newer faster machines.
It is not really an alternative to Mozilla but it's free and some applets are working!
Have fun
